Nashville, TN (September 26, 2025) – “Countricana” singer-songwriter Caryn Dixon has released her highly anticipated EP, ‘Bird in a Cage‘—a raw and powerful collection that captures the courage of breaking free, the fire of transformation, and the beauty of new beginnings. Blending the soul of Americana with the storytelling spirit of country music, the project showcases a fearless sound that pushes past genre boundaries while staying rooted in authenticity.

The five-track EP unfolds like a personal journey, with each song marking a step toward liberation:

• “Bird in a Cage” – a story of captivity and the longing for freedom
• “Mama” – a moment of clarity when leaving is the only path towards growth
• “Arson Song” – a daring anthem of burning down the past to make space for something new
• “Sweet Mountain Flower” – a tender ballad that embraces the possibility of love and happiness
• “Those Days” – a reflective closer that looks back on past pain with strength and grace, leaving listeners with closure and hope

The EP features songs co-written with Nick Gates, Gabe Neal, Dawn Kinnard, Chris Strait, and Doug Forshey, and was produced by Gabe Neal. Adding to its organic sound is a stirring fiddle performance by Emerald Butler, whose playing brings texture and depth to the project’s most poignant moments. Content and photography by Callie Dixon.

A fierce advocate for women, Dixon recently shared her personal story on The Covert Narcissism Podcast, opening up about the hidden abuse behind the “perfect couple” image and the inspiration for ‘Bird in a Cage.’ She describes her experience with domestic abuse as “like being in a prison,” a reality that fueled both her healing and her art. Her story explores silence, self-doubt, and the transformation of turning pain into music.

Caryn’s mission is rooted in empowerment, especially for women who’ve felt forced to choose between family and chasing their dreams. Through both her music and her platform, she is proving it’s possible to honor both. Her growing career isn’t about chasing fame; it’s about building something real, one story, one listener, and one step at a time.

“My main goal in writing these songs is to inspire people,” Dixon explains. “If I can help one person go out and find themselves again, it’s all worth it.”

‘Bird in a Cage’ is available now on all streaming platforms.

About Caryn Dixon:
Raised in a small town in central Pennsylvania, Caryn Dixon began writing songs and singing in church choirs at age seven. Today, she’s a genre-defying singer-songwriter known for her honest lyrics, powerhouse performances, and fierce advocacy for women, particularly those impacted by domestic violence and emotional manipulation.
 

In late 2023, Dixon released her debut single, ‘Print Your Name and Sign,’ produced by The Pear (April Rose Gabrielli and Jacob Kulick). The track resonated deeply with listeners—especially those navigating or healing from traumatic relationships—leading to podcast guest spots and a growing community around her message. Her follow-up single, ‘Here I Am,’ produced by Gabe Neal and Justin Frech, landed on major Spotify editorial playlists, reaching over 12 million listeners.
 

Dixon describes her sound as “country-ish” — a fearless fusion of country, rock, bluegrass, folk, and pop. Never one to color inside the lines, that genre-bending approach shines through in every track she creates. Referred to as a “barn burner” by fans and industry insiders alike, Caryn’s performances are both energetic and heartfelt.
 

Outside of music, Dixon shares her creative spirit on her YouTube cooking show, Chef-ish, where she serves up deliciously imperfect recipes with heart and humor. From caramelized French toast and homemade cherry pie to campfire Italian sausages, her dishes—like her songs—are comforting, a little unconventional, and always full of flavor.
 

Whether she’s on stage, in the studio, or behind the stove, Caryn Dixon’s purpose remains the same: to empower others to take back their stories and live life on their own terms…even if it means doing things a little “-ish.”

Nashville, TN (September 5, 2025) – Country powerhouse Jacquie Roar returns with her most vulnerable release yet, the emotional ballad “Other Side.” Written from a place of deep personal renewal, the song tells the story of escaping the control of a narcissist and finding the strength to embrace love and happiness again.

The track, co-written by Jacquie Roar, Jesse Slack, Jordan Gray, Steve Fee, and Jason Mater, delivers a raw and empowering message for anyone who has endured the pain of abuse. With poignant lyrics like “I crawled my way out a prison cell / The home I made became my hell,” “Other Side” serves as both a battle cry and a beacon of hope.
 

“About eight or nine years ago, I was with someone who almost ruined my life,” Jacquie shares. “It was a long path of recovery, and now I want to tell my story to help others. This song is for anyone who has been in, or is currently in, the grip of a narcissist, or anyone facing the pain of an extremely toxic partner. Here’s your sign to leave. Male or female, you are worthy of love, and you are worthy of happiness. I found mine on the ‘Other Side.’”

According to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, intimate partner violence affects more than 12 million people every year. “I want this song to save lives and change the world,” Jacquie emphasizes.
 

With stirring vocals and soul-baring emotion, “Other Side” finds Jacquie channeling the depth of Adele while carrying the grit and honesty fans of Jelly Roll, Ella Langley, and Avery Anna will instantly connect with.

Jacquie’s journey proves that survival is only the beginning, that thriving is possible, and that “Other Side” is her anthem for anyone ready to claim it.

Nashville, TN (August 29, 2025) – Pull up a barstool, crank the jukebox, and toast to trouble… Mikki Zip is back with her fiery new single, “Sweethearts of the Dive Bar.” Out now on all streaming platforms, the track is a neon-lit tribute to small-town legends, late-night shenanigans, and the kind of friendships that turn hole-in-the-wall hangouts into hall-of-fame memories. 

With edgy lyrics like “This dim light room has seen better days / But we make it look damn good in this haze,”  “Sweethearts of the Dive Bar” fuses southern rock grit with a splash of honky-tonk charm. From dartboards and whiskey sours to smoky rooms that feel like home, the song (written by Mikki Zip, Paige Ruderman, and Chris Justice) is a love letter to nights that don’t need a red carpet to feel like the main event.

“If you ask me about my perfect night out with the girls, ‘Sweethearts of the Dive Bar’ would about sum it up,” Mikki shares. “I hope it reaches all the folks that love some southern rock and a Friday at their favorite local dive.”

Nashville, TN (August 1, 2025) – With fierce honesty and a firecracker sound, rising singer/songwriter Caryn Dixon spreads her wings on her powerful new single, “Bird in a Cage,” now streaming on all major platforms.

Built on poignant imagery like “bottle caps on the ground, tiptoe through this quiet house, holding my shoes,” Caryn delivers an emotional punch that resonates with anyone who’s ever felt silenced, stuck, or underestimated.

“I wrote ‘Bird in a Cage’ about realizing you’ve outgrown the version of yourself that stayed quiet just to keep the peace,” shares Dixon. “It’s about the slow build: the tiptoeing, the unspoken things, the feeling of being small in your own life. I wanted to capture what it feels like to walk on eggshells and then finally decide to break free.”

Caryn describes her sound as “country-ish” — a fearless fusion of country, rock, bluegrass, folk, and pop. Never one to color inside the lines, that genre-bending approach shines through in every track she creates. Referred to as a “barn burner” by fans and industry insiders alike, Caryn’s performances are energetic and heartfelt. Her debut five-track EP is set for release on September 12, further cementing her spot among the next wave of country-influenced storytellers.

Caryn’s mission is rooted in empowerment, especially for women who’ve felt forced to choose between family and chasing their dreams. Through both her music and platform, she’s proving that it’s possible to build a life that honors both. Her growing career isn’t about chasing fame; it’s about building something real, one story, one listener, and one step at a time.

About Caryn Dixon:
Raised in a small town in central Pennsylvania, Caryn Dixon began writing songs and singing in church choirs at age seven. Today, she’s a genre-defying singer-songwriter known for her honest lyrics, powerhouse performances, and fierce advocacy for women, particularly those impacted by domestic violence and emotional manipulation.

In late 2023, she released her debut single, “Print Your Name and Sign,” produced by The Pear (April Rose Gabrielli and Jacob Kulick). The song resonated deeply with listeners, especially those navigating or healing from traumatic relationships, leading to podcast guest spots and a growing community around her message. Her follow-up release, “Here I Am,” produced by Gabe Neal and Justin Frech, landed on major Spotify editorial playlists, reaching over 12 million listeners.

Outside the studio, Caryn brings that same creative spirit into the kitchen as the host of her YouTube cooking show, “Chef-ish,” where she shares deliciously imperfect recipes with heart and humor. From caramelized French toast and homemade cherry pie to campfire Italian sausages, her dishes, just like her music, are comforting, a little unconventional, and always full of flavor.

Whether she’s on stage, in the studio, or behind the stove, Caryn’s mission remains the same: to empower others to take back their stories and live life on their own terms…even if it means doing things a little “-ish.”

Nashville, TN (July 4, 2025) -Two-time Billboard award-winning producer, songwriter, and artist Justine Blazer is making fireworks of her own this Independence Day with the release of a brand-new collaboration titled “4th of July.” Out now across all streaming platforms, the song features rising country singer and actor Rob Mayes (best known for his starring role in the hit Netflix film The Neon Highway alongside Beau Bridges, Lee Brice, and Pam Tillis) and acclaimed Nashville songwriter Steve O’Brien, whose impressive catalog includes country staples like “Rock My World” by Brooks & Dunn.
 

Written by Justine Blazer, Rob Mayes, and Steve O’Brien and produced, engineered, and mixed by Blazer at her own Ten7Teen Studios, “4th of July” is a mid-tempo country-pop gem that captures the electricity of a fleeting but unforgettable summer romance. With playful lyrics like “Was it the jar we were passing or the Delta 8 gummies we ate / Or that Hall and Oates song that somebody just played,” the track blends humor, nostalgia, freedom, and passion, with Rob Mayes’ magnetic vocals at the forefront.
 

“This is kind of a crazy story, actually,” Justine shares. “The stars aligned, magic happened, and the timing was perfect. This surprise collaboration came together literally last week in just a two-day window, from concept to completion. We all got in a room not knowing what we were going to write or say. After talking about life and emotions, the ideas started flowing. We wrote the song, made a work tape, recorded it, produced it, and completed the mix and master – all within 48 hours. That’s not typical! But, we knew we had something special and didn’t want to wait a whole year to release it. We wanted it out this 4th of July.”
 

As if releasing a summer anthem wasn’t enough, Blazer also continues to rack up industry recognition, earning an incredible 17 nominations at the 2025 Josie Music Awards, taking place Nov 2, 2025 at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, TN, the largest independent music awards show in the world. The nods span multiple categories, including Music Producer of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, and Vocal Event of the Year for her soulful collaboration with Lauren Anderson on “Ain’t No Cure Like The Blues.”

Nashville, TN (June 27, 2025) – Jacquie Roar isn’t just asking for space in country music; she’s claiming it. With the release of her brand new single “Free,” the breakout southern rock artist delivers a fierce, soul-rattling anthem made for the bold, the ferocious and the unapologetically unfiltered.

Fueled by honest storytelling and rebellious swagger, “Free” celebrates strong, independent women who refuse to be boxed in. With lyrics like “I ain’t made for no ring / no man can tame me / gypsy heart / and as hot as Haiti / you’ve never seen no one as wild as me,” Roar conveys a message that’s confident and full of fire.

“This song should come with a mouth guard because it’s like a kick in the teeth,” says Jacquie. “When I hear it, it makes me want to drive fast or stand at the edge of a mountain and push my face against the wind. For the first time, I really hear my voice. This is me, fully locked in, and I’m proud as hell of how far I’ve come.”

“Free” was co-written by Jacquie Roar alongside an elite team of hitmakers: Jesse Slack, who recently scored a No. 1 with “Moonshines” by Owen Riegling; Steve Fee, currently charting with Max McNown’s “A Little More Free”; Jason Mater, an Emmy and HMMA-nominated producer and songwriter known for hits on major projects like Disney’s Descendants, who also produced the track; Jordan Gray (Shaboozey, Jelly Roll, Dylan Scott); and Christian Pond.

For fans of Lainey Wilson, Ashley McBryde, and Luke Combs, “Free” packs a punch with its grit, guts and heated passion.
